Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

One of my very dear IRL friends is at the Papal Mass as I type. I am so excited for her and her dh.
I told her yesterday that the joy of being Catholic is we are one body in Christ and I know she carries all her dear friends in her heart, we are with her in spirit...oh my, I'm just overwhelmed with the mystery and joy of it all.

Oh Maria - I know what you mean. I am sitting here and watching the pope arriving at the stadium - just overwhelmed!

I called my one friend who went on her cell phone just to hear the background noise, LOL. For a brief moment, I felt like I was there!
